The implications of widespread sexual data leakage and tracking on porn websites
One evening, ‘Jack’ decides to view porn on his laptop. He enables ‘incognito’ mode in his browser, assuming his actions are now private. He pulls up a site and scrolls past a small link to a privacy policy. Assuming a site with a privacy policy will protect his personal information, Jack clicks on a video.

The sites he visits, as well as any third-party trackers, may observe and record his online actions. These third-parties may even infer Jack’s sexual interests from the URLs of the sites he accesses. They might also use what they have decided about these interests for marketing or building a consumer profile. They may even sell the data.

Looks like Nikita is waking up the RDF investigation:
Tried to join we chat for experimental reasons tonight.
Access denied.
Edit: anyone want to give a mild dissident access? I may get you banned in China though.
What’s your experiment? I’d recommend you do this on a blank device as WeChat will immediately hoover up your contacts without a by-your-leave.
